An 11-year-old girl's life was tragically cut short on New Year's Day in Cincinnati, Ohio. QueenEr'Re Reed was fatally shot at a playground in the city's West End. The young girl, known affectionately as "Queenie," was remembered as sweet, kind, beautiful, and always smiling.
In the wake of the shooting, a vigil was planned to honor her memory as the community grappled with the senseless violence that claimed the life of a child.
Law enforcement began an immediate investigation into the incident, though details about a potential motive or any persons of interest were not immediately released to the public.
As the investigation continued, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced a $5,000 reward for any information that would lead to an arrest in connection with QueenEr'Re's death. The ATF is assisting the Cincinnati Police Department in their ongoing efforts to bring those responsible to justice. To date, no arrests have been publicly announced in the case.
